I’ve had my first job for a year now. My partner got his dream job which requires us to move. My job had an office in that state. But because of stupid in person team rules from this aloof dipshit VP (came from Amazon surprise surprise) they won’t let me move and keep working.
I thought if I could be reasonable and up front they would work with me. But now I’m just a corpse to them. Already working on replacing me. Even though it will be more expensive and might tank the project per the teams advice. I’m on 4 hours sleep right now so might just be ranting.
But I am disconcerted by the level of visceral hatred I feel towards this VP. So detached, so caught up in vapid buzzwords. Where do these people come from. Why are there so many of them in positions of power. How do I handle these feelings without making my partner feel guilty.
I’ve probably made a straw man out of him. He probably has a family and interests. I don’t like how I feel this way. I’ve never felt this way. I don’t want to go back out into the job market.
Right now I’m working 100% remotely for my company, but considering moving to another state so I can be with my long-distance girlfriend. I was thinking about asking if it was OK but… Now I think I’m just gonna go and if they randomly decide I need to be in the office someday is when I’ll tell them the great news lol
…and by that I’ll say “yeah, I’ll be there in a day to straighten this whole thing out, I’m delayed because of Insert lie here!” And then fly in like a loser because this job is the only thing keeping my head above water right now
Yeah… That not going to work unless you can maintain a mailing address in your current state. You employer has a withhold taxes and other stuff and it varies from state to state. So they need to know what state you’re in, so they can follow the laws of that state. It’s a headache for payroll and hr, so if there’s not already a corporate presence in that state they may just say no and deny your relocation… Which is really bad if you’ve already relocated. Having a way to maintain a mailing address in the state council work with the tax situation, but it is illegal and the new state will want their cut when they find out.
Do you get insurance through your job? Also, taxes would be a nightmare
I don’t know what country but, in the US that’s a textbook example of constructive dismissal if they force you to work in office. It’s a primary example of work conditions changing by the employer that prevents you from being able to do your job.
It wouldn’t help you keep your job but, it’s highly likely it would make you eligible for unemployment while looking for a new job.
